....That's mostly why I did the same! Especially after a large lorry came rather close because he didn't see my indicator blinking while my brake light was on as I waited to turn right.

For the same safety reasoning you might like these Hella LED Daylight Running Lights
The new headlights I'm going to get will have some  :smiley:. It's the same headlight unit that Hurdy has.

....I wasn't prepared to sacrifice my Xenons for those.

....I suppose that's one way of looking at it! I think that I'm lucky to have Xenons. But I understand what you mean.

Does anybody have any pictures of LED rear lights? Preferably these ones:
.
By the way, if anyone could photoshop those onto a grey mk5 I would appreciate it  :smiley:.

Jimp don't do it ! those lights are a bit "fast and furious, 10 second mile like" 

They are?  :huh: I don't think so, but might just be an ETTO situation. Personally I really like the look of black rear lights on a grey car. Sage green is basically grey, only a tad different  :wink:.

I actually like them, and they are also "E" marked, so legal too.  :cool:

Now what would they look like on the R-send of a Reflex Silver . . . .

Many thanks for that explaination.   :smiley:

....I'm glad you said for more function!  :evil:

They look less bling in real life but they are much 'louder' visually than stock.

:afro:

The improved light up time and brightness is the main reason I'm looking into LED rear lights. My dad showed me a safety report by I think BMW with reaction times and visibility where the LED rear lights were shown to be both birghter and faster, leading to quicker response times from the driver behind seeing them. That got me interested in them, so I'm looking for a pair that I think would also look good.
